Wins four tackles in win Kondogbia made two interceptions and won four of five tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad.

Impact Kondogbia had a much-improved sophomore campaign with Atletico, tallying a goal, two assists and four clean sheets in 28 La Liga appearances (21 starts), as well as two clean sheets in seven Champions League starts. The 29-year-old had to fill in at center back in December, but was mostly paired with Koke as the first-choice defensive midfielders, a role that he should maintain next season.

Impact Kondogbia was perhaps unlucky to be called for a handball as he didn't have much time to react, but he will nonetheless be suspended for Wednesday's clash against Granada. Hector Herrera (thigh) could replace him in midfield if he's fit enough, or maybe Daniel Wass could make his return after two months out with a knee injury.

Makes three interceptions in loss Kondogbia won made three interceptions and won one of one tackles in Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Kondogbia was solid defensively at the base of his side's midfield in Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal, but City were able to sneak one goal through via Kevin De Bruyne. The reverse fixture will be in Madrid next week but first up is Saturday's La Liga clash against Mallorca, which are 18th in the table and have lost seven games in a row.

Available against Man United Kondogbia (thigh) is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Kondogbia has missed the last two matches with a thigh issue, but it looks like he's available for Tuesday's second leg. There's a chance he makes an immediate return to the starting XI, though it's still unclear how well he's feeling after suffering the muscle issue Feb. 26.

The final set of Champions League round-of-16 second legs are being played this week

Remains unavailable Kondogbia (thigh) will miss out versus Cadiz on Friday.

Impact Kondogbia will be on the shelf for his second consecutive contest having featured in four of the club's previous five outings. In those five outings, the midfielder generated two assists, three shots (zero on target) and 17 tackles (10 won). While Kondogbia should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once cleared to return, he is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Thigh injury confirmed Kondogbia suffered a thigh injury in Saturday's victory over Celta Vigo, Atletico confirmed on Tuesday.

Impact Kondogbia had an excellent game at the weekend, providing assists for both of Renan Lodi's goals, but his day ended early after coming off with a thigh injury. He is still being evaluated to find the severity of the injury, but he is questionable for Sunday's clash against Betis. With Koke (thigh) and Daniel Wass (knee) also injured, Hector Herrera might get the start in midfield if Kondogbia can't play.

Impact Kondogbia set up both of Renan Lodi's goals as the Frenchmen continues to be an in-form player for Atleti. While most of his value is still defensively focused, Kondogbia could become an all-around asset if he continues to play as he has in the last week. He'll get a good model for that possibility in the next match if fit against William Carvalho and Betis.

FEBRUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in draw Kondogbia won four-of-four tackles and made three interceptions during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Impact Kondogbia was one of the better players on the pitch and regularly helped Atleti keep up the pressure through much of the contest. He's now recorded 14 tackles (eight won) in his last four appearances but hasn't helped his team to a clean sheet in that time. As a result, there's an easy target for Kondogbia during the next match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Kondogbia will undergo tests to determine the severity of his injury in the coming days, but as he's already suspended for next weekend's clash against Valencia, he will have almost a full month to recover before the next La Liga game that he's eligible to play in against Barcelona on Feb. 6.

Impact Kondogbia scored an impressive equalizer on Sunday for his first La Liga goal in almost two years since he was playing for Valencia (against Atletico Madrid, coincidentally enough). But he was also booked twice and will be suspended for the clash against his former team on Jan. 22. Koke should return to the lineup in defensive midfield in his absence.

Makes three interceptions in win Kondogbia made three interceptions and completed two blocks during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Porto.

Impact Kondogiba has started each of the last two matches and even slotted in as a center-back due to absences of three usual starters in defense. With 10 tackles and four interceptions made during that time, Kondogbia is offering the kind of defensive work-rate that makes his inclusion worthwhile in the right format. Up next is the derby against Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid.

Busy defensively in return Kondogbia made seven tackles and three interceptions during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Milan.

Impact Kondogbia returned from a muscular injury at the weekend, and made another start, this time in the Champions League. He looked to not have missed a beat, putting in an excellent defensive performance, his best fantasy showing of the season. Next up is a Saturday clash with Barcelona.

Makes initial squad Kondogbia (strain) is in the initial squad for Saturday's trip to Alaves.

Impact Kondogbia was expected to make the squad after making a full return to training and he seems to still be on schedule to return Saturday. The midfielder is likely to go straight back into the starting XI if fully fit, but he may be on the bench to avoid overly stressing his leg. Koke also returns to the squad, and is in a similar situation to Kondogbia, the two could split time Saturday.

Back in full training Kondogbia (strain) is back in full training, according to ElDesmarque.

Impact Kondogbia has made a full return to training after missing the midweek clash with Getafe. The midfielder looks set to be fit for Saturday's trip to Alaves, where, if healthy, he will return straight to the starting XI.

Doesn't make initial squad Kondogbia (strain) is out of the initial squad list for Tuesday's clash with Getafe.

Impact Kondogbia was always going to be questionable with a very quick turnaround and it appears he hasn't made it through the late test. The midfielder won't be in the preliminary squad list, and will likely be replaced by Hector Herrera. Kondogbia will hope to make the team for Saturday's trip away to Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early in draw Kondogbia picked up a knock during Saturday's scoreless draw with Athletic Club, according to MARCA.

Impact Kondogbia isn't expected to be available for Tuesday's trip to Getafe but this injury isn't likely to keep him out for long. In his absence, Hector Herrera could make his first start of the season.
